Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Torracat is the Fire Cat Pokémon — Fire middle stage between Litten and Incineroar. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Incineroar — not a finished raid attacker. Fire helps against Grass, Bug, Ice, and Steel; Water, Ground, and Rock hit Fire hard. Evolve Litten up the line.

Torracat (#726) is a Fire Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Litten. Trainers almost never power Torracat for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Incineroar. Against Torracat, lead with Water, Ground, or Rock. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
